"I love the bees sent out by the Hornet Chaser! They're super cute, and they can grab items too!"

―Unnamed citizen, Make a Good Mega Man Level 2

The Hornet Chaser (ホーネットチェイサー Hōnetto Cheisā) is Hornet Man's Special Weapon from Mega Man 9. With it, Mega Man shoots out robotic hornet drones to sting enemies for low damage or to retrieve items (doing both if it happens to kill an enemy that drops an item). It gives priority to chase up enemies before grabbing items to the user. The hornets will bring back most kinds of items to Mega Man, such as Life Energy and 1UPs, even through walls. This makes it useful for picking up items on spikes, fire pits, and other hazards. However, it doesn't pick up Energy Elements, E-Tanks, M-Tanks, or Noble Nickels.

Trivia

• The Hornet Chaser uniquely appears on its own as an enemy in Make a Good Mega Man Level: Episode Zero. Found in the level Projectile Party!, it spawns out of small holes in the background and chases after Zero like it does with Mega Man. The Hornet Chasers in this stage have only 1 HP as opposed to 2.
